[ there's still judging! ]

...okay. A cutting board, lids for drinks, and food that's not too messy that we can eat one handed?

[gunmettle]

[ OKAY BUT LIKE fond judging. ]

I think that sounds like a solid plan. We got no idea how long this is gonna last, after all.

[briarliar]

Should we get more supplies then? Just in case?

[ which is an invitation to stop her, because Yor already overstocks when she gets food. ]

I don't know what else we can do. Maybe camping if there's not enough space, but Mr. Harlock and Stoat already did that for a task and I don’t know if they'd be eager.to try it again...

[gunmettle]

[ Oh yeah, Juzo knows very well by now how she is when it comes to prepping. ]

I don't think it's gonna get so dire that we can't come back here if we need to. Let's just grab the essentials for now.

[briarliar]

[ listen, she's following the grocery rule of "if you can carry it back in one trip then you're good" it's not her fault she can carry several shopping carts worth of food in one trip ]

Okay. Then...I can gather the utensils and you can get the food?

[gunmettle]

Sounds like a plan to me.

[ WELL crisis averted, thankfully. They can shop, however this counts as shopping, in peace. ]

[briarliar]

[ it would be a mild inconvenience at most, since they have a member of Phoenix (and one adjacent) that literally eats like a horse. but she smiles before heading into the diner, leaving the door propped open for him in case he'd prefer to finish his smoke break outdoors. but once she gets behind the counter she calls out: ]

Um, would a second serving tray count as an essential?

[gunmettle]

[ He stays outside for just a moment longer, snubbing out his cigarette before he follows her in. (Even though he smokes in here all the time usually whoops.) ]

Do we even use the one we have?

[briarliar]

[ while not intentional, she may have developed some gentle prompting for her smoking teammates to finish due to the sheer amount their time together. and if Juzo is getting food he shouldn't be smoking while doing so! ]

Not much, but if Miss Marianne wants to make tea for everyone at the same time, it's easier to serve with a tray. And Mr. Hunter may be borrowing ours...

[ she says like it's normal for a teenage boy to just do this ]

[gunmettle]

[ There really are a lot of smokers on Phoenix aren't there... their dorm must smell lovely. ]

What's Hunter doin' with a serving tray?

[briarliar]

Using it as a makeshift mirror.

[ again, talking like this is normal behavior. she starts moving stacks of saucers and mugs to see if she can find any lids. ]

[gunmettle]

[ ????? ]

Does he need an actual mirror?

[briarliar]

I think he might, but I'm worried how he might react. I'm sure you noticed his hair has been getting longer? When he borrowed my compact and saw his reflection, he became very upset...

[ like, knife weilding to chop hair off upset ]

I gave him a haircut, but I wondered if maybe having the tray on hand as an optional mirror might help? S-since his hair will eventually grow out again...

[gunmettle]

He got upset over his hair?

[ Juzo, who does not have hair, is very confused over this for a moment, but slowly some pieces start to drift into place. ]

... You saw Belos, right? After we all got taken over? What'd he look like?

[briarliar]

[ she was being circumspect in case Juzo felt self-conscious about hair :( ]

Since they're related, they look very much alike. That's why Mr. Hunter was so upset, the long hair reminded him of his uncle.

[gunmettle]

[ It's hard to be self-conscious about a think he doesn't remember having! ]

Ah, yeah, I can see that. I think maybe we oughta get him a real mirror in that case. Or pick one up to have in the common room so he doesn't feel like we're goin' out of our way fr him.

[briarliar]

[ she only knows it is a sensitive topic for lots of men and wants to be considerate in case it is also Juzo's hair trigger ]

Do you think that would work? ...could we at least put it far enough away from the kitchen and any sharp objects?

[gunmettle]

[ The last thing Juzo needs is a set of luscious locks to get tangled in his ammo chamber. ]

Don't see why it wouldn't. A mirror's a practical thing to have, right?

[briarliar]

A-and a breakable thing.

I just don't want him to feel self-conscious, or moreso, but if you think it's subtle enough he wouldn't notice the reason why there's suddenly a mirror in our common room...

[gunmettle]

I get where you're comin from. I think it'll be fine as long as we don't draw attention to it.

[ Look at these two Being Parents. ]

[briarliar]

[ this is the most Domestic Teamwork. Hunter is probably somewhere feeling his ears burn from all this mother (Phoenix) henning. ]

If we don't want to draw attention to it, how will we get him to notice it? Maybe hang it up while he's out and wait until he's startled by his reflection?

[gunmettle]

[ This is all very well and good for them, but they have yet to touch on where they're even going to get a mirror in the first place. ]

Well... yeah, kinda. If we put it up somewhere that's not too outa the way, he's bound to notice it. Then he can do whatever he wants with it.

[briarliar]

[ there's the costume shop, Yor just needs someone to convince her it's not unethical to take one for this very important reason ]

So...someone can distract him while the other puts up the mirror and both of us don't say anything so he can make his decision to do whatever he wants with it? Except maybe we should say something to Mr. Harlock so he's sure to leave it in the common room...

[gunmettle]

The kid's got friends. He spends plenty of time outa the dorm. Should be easy enough to put a nail in the wall and hang a mirror without havin' to go to too much trouble.

[ A considering pause. ]

You might be right about Harlock.

[briarliar]

H-he does! I'm very glad to see him go out with his friends. It's only that if he came back at the wrong time it would easily draw his attention to everything. And I wouldn't know how to explain myself...

[ turning to give him a reassured smile ]

You're right, it should be easy. And he probably won't even think anything of it. So...I suppose that means we wouldn't need a second tray? Which is a shame because it's the only thing I've found so far.
